s.nator shernoan of Ohio felates g brick

ganator Sherman of Ohio relates trick he played upon Allen G. Thurman, the Nestor of the Ohio democrats ''Thur- man one fall began campaign in Ohio by making an attack upon the republican re- sumption of specie payments. He would ne that resumption was a failure, that orsenbacks were still the currency of the country. that the republicans were hum- b1uoing the people when they said that specie payments had been resumed. In concluding his speech he would use the clap trap argument of pnlling $20 gold piece out of his pocket, holding 1t up in the air before his hearers, and saying That. gentlemen, is gold coin. John Sherman says we have resumed specie payments. Have you seen many of these piGoes of coin around here? Didn't you wotkingmen get paper money when you were paid of on Saturday night? It is all nonsense to say tbat we have resumed speeie. payments.' e6ad one of those speeches of Thurmalsand was amused by this, argument of has. The same day 1 read in an Ohio paper that he was going to make speech in a certain place. At that time was secretary of the treasury, and it so happened that as that officer l had to pay for some goods that the gov ernment had bought of manufacturer of the town in which Thurman was to speak. The debt to be paid amounted to $50, ,OCO. Usually I Would have sent check, but this time I paid the debt in gold. A few days after the gold had arrived in the town Thurman came into it and made his anti-resumption speech. 'Gentlemen,' said he, John Sherman is trying to humbug you. We have not resumed specie pay ments as he says we have. The green backs are still our only currency. Do any of you see any gold? Have any of you seen for twenty years past gold coin like this ?'-and here he held up in the sum- light his beloved $2O piece. 'Oh, yes, we have, responded about 100 workingmen, to ~Thurman's astonishment; we have seen lots of gold; and diving into their pockets these workingmen held up before Thsrman hundred gold coins. Thur man was greatly puzzled by what had oc- cured, and noticed that he dropped that attack on resumption. Long afterward, however, he suspected the truth and re- preached me with my evil conduct toward him."

Va rious reports were heard all showing an increased interest in the work with very encouraging results. The sup. erintendent of work at county and state fairs reported that much temperance liter ature had been circulated at these gather ings and believed that much good had been acc .mplished. One speaker thought the time was not far distant when the w. O. T. U. would be felt as power in the state.
 The superintendent of jail and prison work reported that interest in that branch had increased, and urged agitation for the appointment of 8 matron at all the Jails m the state. In her address the national superintendent referred to the increase of interest in many places. The correspond ing secretary of the National union present ed greeting from that body ,and referred to the rapid growth of the union throughOnt the country.
